Jeddah, situated on Saudi Arabia’s western Red Sea coast, is a dynamic city known as the Kingdom's main gateway and commercial hub. Renowned for its vibrant mix of ancient traditions and modern lifestyles, Jeddah offers visitors a unique blend of historic and contemporary attractions.
One of its most famous areas is Al-Balad, Jeddah's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with centuries-old buildings featuring traditional coral stone architecture. Al-Balad’s narrow alleys, historic houses, and bustling souks provide a glimpse into the city’s rich past as a major port for merchants and pilgrims.
The Corniche, a waterfront area stretching along the Red Sea, showcases modern Jeddah with parks, beaches, and art installations, including the iconic Jeddah Fountain. The city is also known for its culinary diversity, with influences from across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.
As a major gateway for pilgrims to Mecca, Jeddah holds a special significance in Islamic culture. It continues to grow as a business and tourism hub, with ongoing developments in hospitality, entertainment, and infrastructure contributing to Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 transformation plan.
